Arch ero-innovators Tecmo have unveiled an entirely new and for some all-too realistic mechanic in Dead or Alive 5 – the female fighters get hot and sweaty as bouts progress, resulting in clinging, see-through tops.

Tecmo, apparently not satisfied with having the most advanced breast physics in any fighting game to date (although Namco might well dispute this), have upped the ante and introduced a full sweating mechanic, which sees characters slicken with their pugilistic exertions in a most realistic fashion.

To a certain specific (and perhaps larger than many would care to acknowledge) audience, sweat-drenched girls are the acme of sexiness, and this coupled with transparent clothing and augmented breast physics in general seems sure to please the average DoA fan.

To the delight of an even more specific audience, the fighters also get dirty as the matches progress, and their breathing even becomes heavy as the exertions of bouncing around the ring take their toll

Various other finicky modelling enhancements of a more general nature are also promised, so even the handful of gamers who play the series strictly as a fighting game should have something to look forward to.

Seriously, TECMO should just join forces with ILLUSION Japan to combine the elements of DOA and the EROGE elements of Battle Raper (Although to be fair Illusion hasn’t released a single BR game since the broken PlayStation 2 years.)

Also, it’d be kind of sexy to have Kasumi in a Sexy Beach Volleyball – Nude Patch already included –

AO Game for XBox.
Wait… it IS going to be XBOX 360 EXCLUSIVELY like the last several have been, right?

This game has the perfect premise. Even if you get your anus ruptured in the online play and develop a fear of it, the sexy bouncing babes bring you back with the comfort of their anti-gravity boobage.

last I read, Itagaki hated that people thought about doa characters as sexy, I even saw a clip of him bad mouthing people who make nude fan art of them, yet he still creates bouncing boobs and see through wet tshirts?

its a bit pervy but at the same time its kinda pretty cool, like I liked the introduction of characters getting bruised and cut in fighting games and this sort of fatigue simulation is kinda cool, even though I would be happy with it just being on the women I do hope the male characters do too for equality 😛

Unless they’re doing some kind of reboot thing or prequel where the characters haven’t aged, by the point of this game I believe all the characters should be over 18 anyway by now.

The first game had Kasumi as either 15 or 16 if I recall correctly, and each game has spanned at least one year in game time each so far. Ye never know what they’ll do for certain though.

Frankly I reckon they should pull some kind of time distortion plot stunt and have the whole game involve mortal combat between elementary schoolers. With only that one old guy being about middle aged at the time. See how the censor offices like that one.

As a big fan since DOA2 I’ve played every release from there on out, but I really don’t like the way the series is going, I mean really, it should be about the fighting…

LOL GAY! Kidding, this is fucking awesome, can’t wait to get my hands (hand) on it. For every lame ass Call of Duty or Square Enix cash grab there’s somethign like this that just makes it all worth it again.

The fighting game community is scared of the ‘fighting’ part being forsaken for fanservice in a game that tries to pass itself as a fighting game. Which part of that logic you failed to understand???

If the fighting game community is scared of sex appeal, they would be complaining about Chun-li’s Alternate Costume 1 in SSFIV, but people didn’t because Capcom cares about balance to a certain degree.

I could go on and on citing priorities, combos and frame data to destroy DoA, but this isn’t the place for that.

So… I guess this game needs no guys then. As I doubt anyone(who buys this) would play with some dirty guys when you can have a girl with see through top panting heavily on the screen. I also see that the battles will be long in this game!

No, sadly it’s dead. I have DoA Dimensions on the 3DS. It actually feels like DoA2 – which is great, except… there’s no option anywhere in the game to make it challenging. You can fight a chain of previous bosses in survival mode and beat them by just mashing attack buttons.

In the Playstation 1 era I recall being promised a more “realistic” fighter where you could break bones and damage limbs and the like, so if you wailed on somebody’s left leg they would limp and whatnot. They never delivered, probably because “violence hurts kids” or some shit. ‘Murrica. 🙁

If you’re seriously playing video games for violence, and not for teenage boobs, then you’re doing it wrong.

And you’re complaining about American video game violence? American probably has the most violent video games in the world. More countries should be like Japan, where most violence is banned from video games, and most teenage boobs are displayed right on the cover.

Do you know that dumb people always replicates what they see on games, Tv, or any other media ?
They need to protect you from harming other people, as you surely will do, after playing these videogames…
